Retrieving Old Email

[LACY]

I have just recently purchased a new computer after my
older one crashed. I was curious if there was any way for
me to retrieve (import) my old email that was in my
outlook express that I had saved, and if so - how to?

Do you want to use Microsoft Office Outlook on the new machine or do you
just want to move from Outlook Express to Outlook Express

In the first case use the Export in Outlook Express and export it to a
pst-file. In Microsoft Office Outlook you can import this file again.

In the last case locate your dbx-files in Outlook Express by using Tools->
Options-> tab Maintenance-> button Store Folder... Go to this location in
Explorer and copy those files. On your new machine do the same thing to see
where you need to copy those files to or use the Import funtion.

For more support on Outlook Express ask in an Outlook Express forum. This is
an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.

Good Luck!

You are correct on that one. I meant you can export to Outlook and then use
the just generated pst-file.
